Black Friday: Ten Things To Do Instead of Shop

1. Sleep in.

2. Make breakfast using NPR's Splendid Table recipes - try Wheat Berries with Ricotta and Honey (Cuccia), Smoked Salmon Benedict with Sorrel Sauce, Savory Cheese Souffle, or Asparagus Quiche with Tomatoes and Tarragon.

3. Wrap up in a warm coat, sit outside, soak up the sun, and revel in the brisk air. Even better, walk the dogs, (or, your imaginary pet).

4. Settle in to your favorite chair and read Sabina Murray's Tales of the New World.

5. Check your local theaters for playtimes for Michel Hazanavicius's silent film
The Artist.

6. Occupy a space other than the mall.

7. Set aside at least two hours to create your Life List, mightygirl.com's Maggie Mason's brainchild.

8. Eat Thanksgiving leftovers for lunch.

9. Take a nap.

10. Go for a drive by yourself or with someone you really like. Turn down the radio, and talk.
